This book presents diverse, original research studies on typical and
atypical child language acquisition in monolingual, bilingual and
bi-dialectal settings, with a focus on development, assessment and
research methodology. Languages investigated in the studies include
underrepresented languages, such as Farsi, Greek, Icelandic, isiXhosa,
Maltese, Mandarin and Slovene, without excluding representative work
in major languages like English and Spanish. The language areas of
focus are phonology, lexicon, morphology and syntax and the book
incorporates studies in under-researched language impairment, such as
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome and language impairment in 22q11.2
Deletion Syndrome. The book has practical significance in that it
proposes tools and assessment practices that are of universal
crosslinguistic relevance while also dealing with language-specific
complications. The studies presented enhance existing knowledge and
stimulate answers on what the acquisition of disparate languages in
different contexts can teach us about language/communication
development in the presence or absence of disorder.
